Elected politicians supporting HSR should be required to post personal bonds from their personal income (not taxpayer compensation) to the cause.

If they believe in it, it should not be a problem. They can reap the rewards when it pays dividends.

Gov. Brown should post his entire wealth in the program. Oh yeah, he is another one that has never worked. All his wealth has been at taxpayer expense. Same should have been required for the Madera Ranch MID project.
